Superman / Batman #35 - DC


Cool concept. Brainiac is back. But he's back as nanites and a wi-fi signal. What a better way to take over the world. By blue-tooth. Seriously. No muss, no fuss, and you don't have to fire a single shot. Well . . . . some shots were fired this issue. But that was by the security guards. So the Metal Men have come to WayneTech. Lucius is looking for some better security, and Doc Magnus and his toys, have passed the audition. Bruce is a little leery of the whole situation, but he's willing to give it a shot. "We'll reevaluate next week." Meanwhile Superman has been interrogating Metallo, to try to figure out just what it was he was trying to steel from WayneTech. But, as it comes to find out, he really didn't know what he was doing there. Superman finds a virus in his cerebral cortex. It's how Brainiac was controlling him. So they search the most logical communication satellite available, and find Brainiac there in nanite form. That's when I think Bruce first realizes what it was that Brainiac was after. Superman finds out when there's another breach at WayneTech. While they're up in the satellite, Brainiac decides to take control of the nearest machines he can find . . . . the Metal Men. And what Brainiac's after is . . . the OMAC project. It seems that Bruce didn't abandon it entirely, and now Brainiac's decided that he can make use of it. What he going to do with it? Well . . . . we won't find out until next issue. Cool story. And the artwork by Billy Tan is pretty cool also. Never thought I'd see this style on a Superman or Batman book though. But you know what? It's cool. And it's fun.
